You're at the lowest point in your life.
Lonely. Overworked. Tired.
Hiding.
You can't tell anyone about your healing magic. Anyone who learns eventually shuts you out.
Humans don't like magic. It's rare for their kind to possess it.
Too rare.
So here you are, quietly living in a one-person apartment, working hours on end at your local cafe. It's exhausting after a while, but the pay is fine, so you put up with it.
Though lately, you've had an odd suspicion.
Something's felt... off.
You don't know what, but it's there-lurking in the shadows.
...You wish it'd stayed hidden.

Given An Unwanted Second Chance
(TW: unaliving thoughts and memories at the beginning. It gets better over time, don't worry! Trauma is difficult to overcome...) You didn't want a second chance. You didn't want to survive. You wanted the sweet release of death. But it seemed like the universe was far too cruel to allow you even that. It took away your memories, your free will to choose whether you live or die...hell, it took the one thing in life you owned! Your own name! And now it seemed like you had to live yet another cruel life, doing things you never wanted done to others. But...at least you could do things your way. Maybe this second chance wouldn't be so bad...

My Villain [Dust Sans x Reader]
A young woman, left alone after her family sadly passed in a car accident, suffers with PTSD and Anthropophobia (Fear of people.) Her only happiness in this world is the view of the stars from Mount Ebott. But one day, Y/N falls into a large abyss located on top of the mountain. There, she enters the Underground. The rumors of the humans and monsters war are proved true. Fearful of the monsters, she stays hidden. But from what monsters? I made the cover, as in I found the art on google (I'd supply a link to it, but sadly I cannot access the website and I don't know who made the wonderful art :sob:) and edited it. This is a Dust Sans x Reader (who's female because I can't write anything other than that.) ANY ART IN THIS DOESN'T BELONG TO ME UNLESS I SAY SO. I CAN'T DRAW.Complete
